NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icu package and not the icu package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Locale class in common/locid.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) through 57.1 for C/C++ allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long locale string.
